Focus Black Forest 4.1 29" Bike 2013

As one of Germany's top bicycle brands, Focus has built a strong reputation for designing high performance bicycles. Whether it is Road, Cyclocross, Cross Country, or All Mountain, Focus is a leader in innovation and design, offering outstanding bicycles with an incredible price-to-performance ratio.

The Black Forest is a hardtail XC 29er line with a focus on performance. This lightweight bike finds its foundation on sturdy alloy frame construction, yielding high performance results. Meticulously designed and constructed, the Black Forest doesn't skip a beat on the trail and keeps you cranking mile after mile.

Complementing the Black Forest frame is the 4.1 level build kit—a mix of reliable components from Shimano and Tektro. The 3x9 drivetrain is made up of Shimano Acera shifters, Shimano SLX rear derailleur, and a Shimano Acera front derailleur that keeps shifting smooth and efficient as a Shimano FC-M381 crank delivers power with every pedal stroke. Tektro HD-330 hydraulic brakes give the the power to stop on a dime and a Rock Shox XC28 fork provides 100mm of travel to tame those more challenging sections of the trail. A Focus branded Concept cockpit, rounds out the Black Forest 4.1 build, for a ride that is ready to perform, yet cost effective.

I bought the bike after long time without one, the price/components relation is outstanding. The handling is excellent for a 29er and it feels durable, although its a bit heavy. The suspension is good while the frame is excellent and the design is really cool.

To start, hats off to Jenson USA. They are one of the few bike companies that will deliver to Military APO and DPO addresses and their customer service is outstanding. We are currently working in Israel which has some very exciting MTB trails. My buddy bought this bike a month ago. Within a week, just riding down a simple set of steps the front wheel basically collapsed. Jenson replaced the wheel with a high end wheel that retails for just under the cost of the bike. We went for a ride today, eight miles into the trip, the left pedal threads completely stripped out from the crank...crank threads were worn smooth. If you are buying this bike for Sunday rides on flat bike paths, go for it. This IS NOT a bike made for the trails.

First I would like to say that the bike is beautiful and rides nice, but there was a problem with the fork, it wouldn't lockout. I called customer service and they asked me to take the bike to a shop to have it fixed. The shop couldn't fix it so they were going to replace it for a manual crown lockout, which I didn't want. I called customer service again and they asked me to ship the fork to them and they would send me a replacement. It's been four weeks since I purchased the bike and I haven't been able to ride it. Hopefully they will understand all the trouble that I've been going through and maybe add something extra to compensate for having to wait this long to enjoy my new bike.

There is not a better bike at this low of a price! Some of components arent the best but functions satisfactory. Excellent bike to start gradual upgrades on. For example, it is great to start out stock and as you progress, upgrade bike. First upgrade, BETTER FRONT SHOCK then maybe brakes. Fun and tough bike! No regrets!

Loving the bike so far and the price drop the day I received it. Jenson honored the price drop and credited my card that day. Super cool of them. Not a big deal but there wasn't seat post grease even though it was checked. Just added my own. i hope the other things on checklist were really checked. DID HAVE A MADE IN TAIWAN STICKER ON TUBE thought it was made in Germany? Really love the bike though!!! I'm 5'8" and the small still seems big but I think its just me used to 26" bike. Although while standing over bike there is no room in crotch over top tube.
